While I run the risk of sounding like a completely rabid fan of the Discworld series, I do think that it's near impossible for Pratchett to put out a Discworld novel that isn't entertaining in one aspect or another. (Please don't prove me wrong, Terry!)

This particular novel follows Vimes & the Watch as things start heating up around the city. Kooms Valley Day, the day that the trolls & dwarves supposedly had a big war (nobody survived, so nobody knows for sure all of what happened) is rapidly approaching & tensions are high. If that wasn't bad enough, a well respected dwarf has been found dead & trolls are supposedly to blame for it. Vimes has to figure out what exactly happened & why, as well as make it home every day by 6 pm so he can read "Where's My Cow" to his son.

I have to admit, it did take me a while to initially get started in this novel because, to be quite frank- a LOT happens in this book. To be honest, there's enough stuff in here for two stories- one about the troll/dwarf affair & the one about Angua & Sally. Pratchett does put it together & the story is nice, but I felt like the tensions between Angua & Sally could've been a little more fleshed out. It didn't ruin the book or anything, but I just felt like it was a bit underserved in this book.

Still, the book was pretty good & I enjoyed reading it. It's not going to be my favorite Discworld novel ever, but it is one that I think would be well served if the BBC were to make a movie of it.
